Sporting Goods & Equipment Rentals -- Jackson adventurers may like to flirt with danger, but generally they like to do so fully equipped and handsomely attired. Serious climbers with serious wallets will appreciate the gear at Teton Mountaineering at 170 N. Cache St. (tel. 800/850-3595 or 307/733-3595), a block from the square, where you can get carabiners, killer Nordic skis, and high-grade fleece jackets. Fishermen are lured to High Country Flies at 185 N. Center St. (tel. 877/732-7210 or 307/733-7210), and the Jack Dennis Outdoor Shop on the square at 50 E. Broadway (tel. 800/570-3270 or 307/733-3270). Adventure Sports, at Dornan's in the town of Moose (tel. 307/733-3307), has a small selection of mountain-bike, kayak, and canoe rentals, and advice on where to go with the gear.

Broadway Ave. (tel. 307/733-5335), has a large selection of skis, boards, and summer mountain bikes for rent and sale.
